Male pain sounds like this have become a staple of game clips and meme edits because they convey injury without any dialogue or explanation. Short grunts are easy to drop over gameplay, fail compilations and reaction videos, where a single strained voice can sell a hit, a fall or a bad decision. The style is closely related to the classic Roblox oof, another short game pain sound that became shorthand for cartoonish damage online. Its simplicity is why it keeps circulating: it works in almost any context where someone takes a hit.
